EDIBILITY The brown trout is an excellent table fish, being the equal of the rainbow trout in this respect but not as good as fontinalis. Large specimens are inclined to be " beefy." Gameness There is a diversity of opinion as to the qualities of the brown trout in American waters. " The brown trout is without doubt the least attractive of all the trouts in America," says Charles Southard, and Wm. C. Harris said: " It has no angling qualities that render its presence desirable in our trout streams." On the other hand O. Warren Smith says: " There is no question in my mind that the introduced fish [meaning both rainbows and browns] are in all game points the peer of the native brook trout." Samuel Camp states: “ Purely as a sporting proposition the brown trout is a decided success; in other words he puts up a good fight." |
